Melbourne enforcer Nelson Asofa-Solomona is facing another suspension after being reported for throwing a stray elbow in the Storm's upset loss against Manly.

Asofa-Solomona, who missed last year's grand final defeat to Penrith through suspension, was immediately put on report late in the first half.

The 29-year-old's elbow on Sea Eagle Jake Simpkin proved costly in more ways than one.

Just minutes after coming on in the first half, Simpkin was placed on report for a dangerous tackle on Grant Anderson.

Simpkin avoided being sin-binned, but Anderson was forced from the field for a HIA.

Melbourne were out for retribution, with Asofa-Solomona throwing his elbow back in a tackle from Simpkin, collecting him in the head.

Asofa-Solomona's rush of blood proved costly, as it came in the same play captain Harry Grant crossed for a try just before halftime.

But the four-pointer was overturned, leaving Storm coach Craig Bellamy furious.

Simpkin failed to return, but Manly coach Anthony Seibold said the club would consider challenging the category one concussion ruling to avoid him going into protocols.

When asked for his views on the incident, Bellamy was typically blunt: "I've got an opinion, but I ain't going to say it."
